Sarah Palin, the ubiquitous enchantress of the disenchanted, may not have been ready to lead the free world back when John McCain anointed her as his running mate. But she's left rubber on the road that leads to fame, fortune and a new feminine mystique that drives certain men and women wild -- in very different ways.

For what it's worth, I get a kick out of Sarah. May I call her Sarah?

She and I apparently share a certain genetic predisposition to annoy all the right people. These would be the folks who take themselves and their ideologies a tad too seriously. Thus when I was promoting my book, "Save the Males," I wore an aggressively feminine suit -- pink with a bow in back -- just to irritate hard-line feminists, who, without bothering to read the book, would hate it on sight.

I happen to hate bows, but it was worth it.

Likewise, Sarah knows just what drives us all nuts and, instead of changing her tune, she turns up the volume -- and triples down. Don't like her little red shoes? She'll add a red leather jacket. Got gloss?

This woman is not to be feared or loathed. She is to be taken with a grain of humor and a dash of admiration. A different version of Madonna, she's a public relations machine who manipulates public perception with well-timed and, recently, sophisticated messaging.

In the nearly two years since she became the first female Republican vice presidential candidate, Sarah has morphed from a pit bull with lipstick to a mama grizzly. Grrrrrrrr.

Bottom line Kathleen Barker: You've run nothing in your life except your mouth/pen. Sarah Palin on the other hand has run and town and a mineral rich state successfully. So why in the world should anyone bother reading your words? Just asking.

Translation: I've been able to raise my profile and land a new gig by being a supposed conservative that hates her, and is willing to say so over and over. Since my earlier assessment of her as stupid and shallow has proven to be so stupid and shallow, I'm trying to get of the Sarah bashing express before it goes over the cliff, and salvage what little credibility I have left.

Any “conservative” that voted for Obama is completely discredited as a political pundit. CAREER OVER and DONE.

This brain dead RINO beotch should look for a job in a different line of work. Night manager at a Wendy’s might do, but then again even that may be above her pay grade.

The way to understand this woman’s so-called mind (and others like her, e.g. Maureen Dowd, Christopher Buckley) one needs to go back to high school and contemplate the sociology of the adolescent herd.

She and I apparently share a certain genetic predisposition to annoy all the right people.

It isn't genetic, Kathleen, and wow, do you ever flatter yourself. Sarah is where she is despite your best efforts on 0bama's behalf - do you think we've forgotten? She doesn't owe you, Kathleen, and neither do we.

Kathleen Parker tirades remind me of a little, half baked muffin, trying to take down the main dish in a last minute fit of fury before dinner is served, with the little muffin being an “after thought”, or possibly a “no thought” for the calorie minded dinner!

No. Mitt Romney is a symbol of the anti-Reagan RINOs, and unnatural borne citizens from Mexico who think they can be President, and is a symbol of RomneyCARE, gay marriage, truthers, and fascism replacing freedom.

"One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on people has been by way of medicine..." President Ronald Reagan

Death Panels imposed by Mitt Romney (ObamaCARE=RomneyCARE).

Palin is as tough, experienced, committed and capable (and more so) than many past or current politicos.

I am CONVINCED that her credentials are sufficient and I AM SICK TO DEATH of the media campaign against the superficial and irrelevant aspects of her and her claim to our attention.

The MSM needs to begin assessing Governor Palin in the sober and professional manner which she CERTAINLY deserves and which they NEVER hesitate to apply in their assessment of lesser and obviously flawed ‘candidates’.

The MSM has this pathological, crying need to trump-up all sorts of BS about Gov. Palin as an individual and a politician. THIS is NOT professional or constructive never mind that it is unethical!

When they are finished covering themselves with s%$#, how can anyone take them seriously? Journalists who obsess over Gov. Palins personal life/attributes, or who cant be objective and ethical in their assessment of Palin as a political figure or potential candidate WILL BE TUNED-OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey MSM . Get serious or STFU!!! I am heartily sick of it already and the f&^%$#g campaign did not even begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

G R O W U P !!!!!!

I wonder what the libs would say if those dismissive words had been written about Hillary Clinton? Hillary had none of the executive experience Sarah Palin has, when she herself ran for President, against another candidate who lacked experience, but was lauded by the MSM as the savior of America.
